England 2024/25

[Ragey Erasmus]

Record number of double barrels in an England squad?

Just reading a report that Hendy may have been involved in the England tour had he not suffered the injury. Not sure how accurate that is but he's shown up well. Maybe not ahead of Roebuck or OHC etc...

Prob as a 15 option imo

Where was the article?

Does strike me more as a wing at international level tbh. Not sure he’s got the overall kicking/tactical game for 15. He is young though so plenty of time to develop.

Not sure about Quirke, Randall is probably still above him based on gametime alone. I doubt Ford is on the plane and even Marcus is a doubt after Sexton got the gig - he's "too flashy" apparently. I reckon Lawrence will miss out as well, Jones, Ringrose, Henshaw and maybe even Tompkins have his place sewn up between them, so they can all potentially be available

I think Farrell is going to go on the Lions which might see both Smith’s and Ford miss out.

Ruck..hence the not sure how accurate.

Ah surely not.

I honestly don't see what he offers over others in his position apart from a snarl.

Playing well in France, hero of English rugby. Generally liked by most fans. Great influence on younger players.

I think he's a Lions bolter

Sorry thought you were talking about Courtney Lawes.

Completely made up then

Hendy was in really good form before his injuries so not that surprising he was being considered, if he was, tbf
Especially as he can cover wing and fullback to fairly equal levels - always handy for a bench spot

More than likely... HOWEVER we've all spoken of him on here and he's played very well.. especially as a big unit aswell.

So there could actually be something in it. Alas he's out for quite a while with a dislocated shoulder...

But with the RFUs focus on diversity and all that ‘stuff’ surely we need more players from the ginger ethic background to truly represent our diverse and ginger population.

Yeah the suncream budget isn't high enough without those extra Chelsea games

The Goat of gingers. No doubt some will still say it's Dan (Does look like he dyes his hair) Carter.

People might not like it but Dan Carter was never as good as other top fly halves like Charlie Hodgson and Toby Flood.
